Reflections on Impermanence and Death | Vajratara

In this engaging talk Vajratara speaks on directly meeting death and Impermanence in Buddhist practice, and how these reflections can open up a new way of living our own lives free of the anxiety and fear of the uncertainty of our own deaths.
Vajratara is an experienced Order Member in the Triratna Buddhist Order, which has over 100 Buddhist centres and groups worldwide. She lives at Tiratanaloka retreat centre in the UK which provided retreats for women training for ordination
This talk was given on the Brixton Buddhist Community's January 2020 open retreat at Vajranasa Retreat centre in the UK.

Commitment
Until one is committed, there is hesitancy,
the chance to draw back,
always ineffectiveness.
Concerning acts of initiative (and creation)
there is one elementary truth,
the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans:
That the moment one definitely commits oneself then Providence moves too.
All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred.
A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor
all manner of unforeseen incidents
and meetings
and material assistance which no man could have dreamt would have come his way.
Whatever you can do, or dream, you can begin it.
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.
Begin it now.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
